STRINGING AND TUNING
INSTALLING STRINGS:
All Traveler Guitars use standard guitar strings and the tuners operate just like the tuners on a standard guitar.
On our guitars, we recommend changing the strings three at a time—but be careful not to remove all the strings at
once, since some of the components are held in place by string tension. First remove the old E, A, and D strings,
and then install three new strings in their places. Repeat this process on the G, B, and high E strings.
On our basses, we recommend changing the strings two at a time—but be careful not to remove all the strings at
once, since some of the components are held in place by string tension. First remove the old E, and A strings, and
then install two new strings in their places. Repeat this process on the D, and G strings.
To change, thread the string through its hole in the endcap and wrap the string around the roller and through the
corresponding tuner hole. Leave approximately 2 ½ inches of slack in the string to allow 3 to 4 wraps on the
tuner. Bend the string to anchor it in place in order to hold the string after it is fed through the tuner. Over- or
under-wrapping the string around the tuner may cause tuning problems.
